9:24
قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ
Qul in kana abaokum waabnaokum waikhwanukum waazwajukum waAAasheeratukum waamwalun iqtaraftumooha watijaratun takhshawna kasadaha wamasakinu tardawnaha ahabba ilaykum mina Allahi warasoolihi wajihadin fee sabeelihi fatarabbasoo hatta yatiya Allahu biamrihi waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alfasiqeena
Say (oh Muhammad) if your parents were and your children/ offspring and your siblings and your spouses and your clans, and belongings you earned, and a trade you worry about failing and dwellings you love, more beloved to you than Allah and His messenger and exerting effort on His path then wait until Allah brings His matter and Allah will not guide the people who drift from the path.
The Aya brings to our consideration all the people and things in our lives that we naturally may love. It reminds us that we need to love Allah and His messenger and Allah’s path more than any of those people and things. What this means is not abandoning the love of those things because Allah and His messenger ask us to love them in many places of the Qur’an. It instead asks us to put in perspective and not let the love of those things stand in the way of loving Allah and His messenger. This is because the essence of the religion is to make Allah our best friend and lover and to seek his guidance as to how to love all those entities in the best way without making them an end in themselves.

salaam brother hussain
when root from faaa3ala is employed in surah 9:29, then it is my opinion that the other side wants to fight too.
laakaa youlaaki
here it is mutual . like both probably agreed to meet.
the quran never says in 9:29 to kill. i note that if the intention is to kill, it will first mention QAAtala 2 or 3 times and THEN say "uqtul"
"uqtul" is from fa 3a la
so it does not seem that QAATAla is employed for KILLING
maybe the muqaatal give up or repent ?
i can understand that maybe qaatala in BATTLE field is employed with the sense of killing because in battle field what is the intent? to fight and to kill, right?
but in 9:29 is KILLING the intention?
please can you clarify and give some evidence that if the "feeling is mutual" for fighting, thanks .
Wa Alaikum assalam,
In 9:29 it is an interactive form QAATILOO and that means that the other part is willing or desiring to fight or fight back and so on and not committed to a peaceful resolution of the issues at hand that are mentioned in the Aya.

Yusuf Ali: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
1. do not believe in ALLAH and the last day
2. do not consider unlawful...so they considered it lawful, right?
3. did not acknowledge the religion .
is the whole point of the ayats to ALLOW the muslims to preach thier beliefs ?
and since the muslims will have dominance , they in their disbelieving state must pay jizya?
Generally the way I understand the Jizya is a state of autonomy for those religious communities where they have their own laws even if they are contradictory to Islamic law (drinking alcohol,eating pork etc) and they live safely and protected by the Muslim state while paying a tax that maintains them in that protected autonomous status.
